R/C Skipjack Torpedo and Periscope System

[@brichu3206]

I love how clear the water is from above

[@calrenman]

That torp is just so cool!

[@Pertemba40]

Dan, you are amazing as always! Thanks for the videos.

[@RCSubGuy]

Awesome video and great engineering, Dan!

[@undersee604]

RCSubGuy Thanks Bob it would cool if I could make the torpedoes in 1/96 scale . Dan

[@makocapone6400]

Amazing its the koolest thing ive ever seen on a model sub

[@RocketrywithAnay_2013]

*coolest

[@curtiscruncher]

Hey Dan! I just got the Moebius 1/72 Skipjack from eBay, really excited to build , I'm gonna put SSN 589 decals on it as it comes with either USS shark or USS scorpion, I'm really gonna try and do a weathering paint on the hull like the 1 you built !! Take care

[@esmmunderseawarfaregroupkr8482]

Match final bearings and SHOOT! Your a Master in the craft Dan!! Keep on showing us how it's done!! "Sub" Ed

[@undersee604]

SUBCOMLI Ed I don't know about the master part but thanks for the compliment , and I will do some more videos when I can . Dan

[@dimtim4298]

brilliant, nice to see a battery powered trop instead of gas. love to have them on my tyhoon but always been put off due to the gas

[@undersee604]

dim tim Thanks I have played around with gas torpedo's they are very unpredictable and messy as well the price of propellant makes it not cheap to operate. Dan

[@67Bullshark]

Nice explanation & information!! THX!! ;-)

[@curtiscruncher]

Great vid ! Thank you

[@mishalobanov9744]

beautiful!

Misha Lobanov Thanks

[@curtiscruncher]

Wondering if you've given thought to building a Columbia class SSBN, interesting to see what its going to look like

[@BigBoss-ms3tu]

nice work

[@petermenzel9715]

Wonderful model mate, I reckon you should add one more torpedo on the left side :)

[@undersee604]

Peter Menzel Thanks Peter I might put another tube on the port side. Cheers

[@gradycolborn6919]

Hello, I am trying to build a Los Angles Class from scratch, how does the top come off and keep out the water? It would really help me out.

[@crazypeoplesavedrag2618]

can the torpedoes explode on impact

[@BlackAnvil47]

Awesome!!!!

[@undersee604]

👍👍👍

[@MJMJ27]

Will you do a how to on making a functional torpedo system?

[@itolond]

this looks interesting- i have reviewed a few small scale torpedoes incl the compressed gas option. So to understand the torpedo has a capacitor which is charged 10 seconds prior to release which runs a small motor and prop....I am guessing the charge is prior so you do not have to switch the motor on and find a way to stop the prop? - could you use a reed switch , but i guess this will also need and ejection option? if you could please share the capacitor/motor and charing info/details that would be great - i dont have a lot of room in the sub but it would be a great addition

[@undersee604]

itolond That is how this system works in 1/72 scale which is 4 in in length weight for this size is the problem needs to be boyant to float after the charge ,idealy it would be nice to precharge the torp then placing into the tube before sailing then launching using a reed switch so this is why I charge onboard before firing. Cheers

[@itolond]

sounds good What capacitor / motor / charger did you use? also whats the run time ?

[@dayarao1555]

great video...

[@undersee604]

Daya Rao Cheers

[@pangalin00]

How the torpedo goes forward ? By electric motor?

[@coast219]

Interesting water tight compartments. Has anyone used this method with the Moebius 1/72 Skipjack?

[@undersee604]

Yes this method is rarely used mostly because of the WTC

[@coast219]

@@undersee604 is there a link or site where I can see more about the layout of your semi dry compartment?

[@undersee604]

@@coast219 Greg Sharpe from Deep See Designs had a great plans for this system unfortunately many years ago he folded his company, however dig around the net you might find info on this ,I don't have a plan for you , it's a easy system to do and alott cheaper. Cheers DK

[@coast219]

@@undersee604 thanks. BTW, is your Type VII built the same way or did you use a proper WTC?

[@undersee604]

@@coast219 Yes I did a type V11 C years back for a customer in Japan using that method and it worked awesome just a note on the type V11 in 1/48 scale the model should be split at the waterline for easy accessibility

[@undersee604]

Thanks

[@curtiscruncher]

Favorite sub 💯 always

[@GI_Joey24]

Wouldn't the water get in the hole where the torpedo shoots from and then damage it?

[@undersee604]

The Ferret Dynasty No the water doesn't interfere with the system

[@michaelrs8010]

VERY cool

[@michaelsimatupang7765]

cool, how do you manage the housing of the torpedo so it doesn't cause a leak?

[@DIyRcrc]

Plz teech me how to build that torpedo

[@grandadmiralthrawn7457]

How much was the sub?

[@prasetyayt0787]

What is price ?

[@andreavcc]

good job ;)

[@undersee604]

andreavcc Thanks

[@achilleaxel3800]

where can I find your same model to buy?

[@undersee604]

You can buy a similar model made by Moebius models, a plastic kit in 1/72 scale (same scale as mine ) .

[@achilleaxel3800]

@@undersee604 ok, but where to buy ?

[@undersee604]

@@achilleaxel3800 you can buy the submarine kit online or a hobby shop, however not the torpedo that is made from scratch. Good luck

Thank you very much

[@dayarao1555]

Great

[@undersee604]

👍

[@davidboril5656]

wow

[@biker9835]

drunk thoughts but maybe add some weight if you can to make them come out and not go straight to the surface of the water

[@undersee604]

That is true however the torp will sink at the end of the charge, this torpedo is very small 1/72 scale .

[@biker9835]

@@undersee604 didn't think of that

[@dayarao1555]

Good video...request please share electric torpedo made..thank you

do you building it or buying and where to buy them

[@theflyinggasmask]

i have a challenge for you, ad a passive and active sonar :P

[@undersee604]

Yes working on it 👍

[@MrSchweif]

Hello The driving out Periscope is a great thing, you can make to me a coarse drawing or a video like it exactly functioned with the Servo, it has not exactly understood and how it looks in the tower. If it liked to make with mine and boat also so or you have left for me like it funktioniertß, many thanks
